Default GT2 alignment

after some advice from Rob and MC 968CS, I had my alignment checked and set up. How they could tell from one photo I will never know, but they were spot on. Settings were all over the place and not one wheel was working in harmony with the other.

The only give away for me driving was the need to correct steering mid corner, even on a normal motorway cruise. Car is now fully corner weighted, toe corrected, camber etc. Not done to factory settings, but set up for street use rather than track. Main difference I can feel is the front feels much more solid and tighter.

Thanks for the advice chaps, was well worth the time and effort, it feels like another car.

cheers
Steve

awesome to hear Steve!
911's are very sensitive to alignment (which is good), glad yours is dialed in now
Cheers,

they are in German, but the numbers should be fine. Had corner weights set as well.

hinter is rear, vorn is front. Car is sitting 3mm lower all round, I guess new tyres would change that, current MPSS's are half worn. The settings are Fach Auto Tech's own recommendation, they run cars in the Porsche Supercup, support races to the F1 series over here, am sure they know what they are doing.

Cheers,
numbers uploaded, I'd be interested to know what your opinion is. Note it is a fast road toy, no track time, although may do some driver ed next year.

Interessant ?! Bei mm-Angaben braucht man die Radgrösse um das zu beurteilen zu können ;-)
Insgesamt sehr merkwürdige Werte, aber wenn's für dich passt ist das doch ok ;-)
